title: The use of injectable nitroglycerin in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Nitroglycerin in cardiac catheterization.
abstract: At our institution, injectable nitroglycerin (TNG) has been employed during cardiac catheterization since 1976. Initially, it was primarily used in patients undergoing a provocative test for coronary spasm with ergonovine maleate. After the initial favorable experience, the use of injectable TNG became routine.
